(More customer reviews)I bought this CD player mainly to hook up my laptop to it. I watch tv and movies on my laptop a lot, the screen is 15.4 inches, so it is easy enough to see it in my tiny little room, but the speakers aren't very good and even at full volume it was hard to hear if there was anything else going on in the house.
So I bought this. I had an RCA cord that would hook my laptop up to speakers with an a double RCA Audio In port. But this one only had audio out (to hook the cd player part up to the speakers). But I bought a cable from the local Staples for ten dollars that hooked the laptop into the CD player through the headphone jack in the laptop and the headphone jack style audio in on the CD player.
Over all I am pleased with the CD player. The sound quality is good, I have only used the maximum volume once, to see how loud it got, and was surpised at the quality of it and the volume. It serves my purposes.
I was also surprised at how small it is nice in my tiny little bedroom, and will be nice in the dorm room I will living in soon.
My only real complaint is that it is kind of difficult to change the time, I have managed to do it once, but I am not entirely sure how I did it. And the manual was very small, and therefore very easy to lose. Daylight savings time has happened since I bought it and the clock is now an hour off. Luckily it is kind of hard to read it anyways so I just go off of the other clock in my room.
I would recommend this CD player to anyone who wants to attatch it to an ipod or laptop (just get the right cord) and anyone who doesn't like things to be TOO loud. If you are one of those people who blast your music so loud the neighbors down the street can dance to it, than this probably isn't what your looking for.
